Cocotte French Restaurant @ Wanderlust Hotel, Dickson Road

I've been busy but still managed to catch a good meal last week at Cocotte, a french restaurant situated at the ground floor of Wanderlust hotel at Dickson Road.

I just found out that Cocotte means both a round casserole and prostitute in French. It's an interesting play of word, especially since Dickson Road is at shady end of Little India.

Wanderlust Hotel @ Dickson Road

Cocotte serves french cuisine in a casual setting and with a communal dining concept.

See, they even have a communal round dining table that can sit 12.

The food at Cocotte tastes excellent and it goes very well with the relaxed ambiance.

I ordered a set with a French Cured Pork Sausage as appetizer.

Bf had the Roast Pork Collar topped with mustard sauce and brussels sprouts with roasted almond. And the ooh-la-la mushrooms.

Oooo... thinking of that dish makes my mouth waters. It was very delicious and the mustard sauce complimented the roasted pork collar very well.

I had the Bouef Bourguignon, which is a beef stew. The beef was very tender but I still preferred bf's dish. So, it was swapped midway into the meal. heh!

We ended the meal with Chocolate Royal, a Varhona chocolate mousse cake with praline at the bottom and a nice cuppa of coffee. Mmmmm... heavenly...

Wanderlust Hotel Lobby

I had a great meal that afternoon and it was entertaining to watch the chicly dressed hotel guests streamed into Wanderlust Hotel lobby.

Cocotte serves up quality food made with fine ingredients and the whole meal cost us about $80. It's a great restaurant to go to with friends and definitely a recommended place to try out at least once!
